🎒💙 Supporting the children of our fallen heroes.

Beyond the Badge was honored to coordinate providing backpacks and school supplies for the children of fallen officers supported by the Colorado Fallen Hero Foundation as they head back to school.

For us, family support means showing up in the big moments—but also remembering the everyday moments that matter to our kiddos. A new backpack, school supplies, and knowing there is an entire community behind them is one small way we can continue to honor their fallen hero. 💙

We are incredibly proud to support the Colorado Fallen Hero Foundation and the work they do for Colorado’s fallen officers and their families.

Want to help make a difference too? Support the Colorado Fallen Hero Foundation Gala! Whether you attend, sponsor, donate, or contribute an auction item, the funds raised help ensure these families continue to be supported long after the line-of-duty death.

Their hero will never be forgotten—and neither will their family.

💙 Because their hero is our hero.

We're excited to announce that Family Academy is coming to Washington. This fall, we'll be partnering with two incredible agencies to bring our Family Academy Instructor Certification to the Pacific Northwest.

📍 Pierce County Sheriff's Office
🗓️ September 28-30, 2026
https://site.corsizio.com/event/6966bdad1d4daf767e81776e

📍 Mountlake Terrace Police Department
🗓️ October 19–21, 2026
https://site.corsizio.com/event/6a46e2a9c9e79be0456c1f9d

For years, we've focused on preparing officers for the realities of the profession—but the people waiting for them at home often receive little to no preparation. Family Academy changes that.

This three-day instructor certification equips agencies to build and sustain a family support program that strengthens communication, increases resilience, prepares families for the challenges of the profession, and ultimately helps agencies recruit, retain, and support their people.
Participants leave with:
✔️ A complete turnkey curriculum
✔️ Instructor guides and participant materials
✔️ Interactive activities and facilitation tools
✔️ Lifetime certification with future curriculum updates
✔️ The confidence to launch or enhance a Family Academy at their own agency

A heartfelt thank you to Mountlake Terrace Police Department and Pierce County Sheriff's Office for hosting these trainings and investing in the well-being of officers and the families who stand beside them every day.

If you're in Washington—or anywhere in the Pacific Northwest—and have been considering bringing Family Academy to your agency, we'd love to have you join us. Together, we're strengthening the thin blue line from the inside out.

Rare Opportunity for Law Enforcement Agencies

Beyond the Badge has a very limited opening for agencies looking to expand their wellness initiatives through culturally competent family support programming.

Due to national training, consulting, and speaking commitments, we rarely have availability to partner with additional agencies throughout the year. We currently have a small window open for agencies interested in implementing or expanding programs focused on recruiting, retention, resilience, and long-term officer wellness.

Services may include:
• Family Academy development and implementation
• Family support program consulting
• Critical incident family support planning
• Wellness and resilience education
• Peer support and family engagement strategies
• Training for staff, peer support, chaplains, and leadership

Strong agencies are built with strong support systems — and families play a critical role in officer wellness, career longevity, and organizational trust.
If your agency has been considering expanding family support or wellness initiatives, now may be the right time to start the conversation.

Feel free to message me directly to learn more about current partnership availability.

It's a great problem to have when we are so busy we can't get to everything. Huge thank you to Emily Brower for stepping in and presenting on the amazing Family Academy program for us! The lived experience of building and teaching Family Academy was crucial to bring this amazing crucial tool to Sheriffs in Colorado. Thanks to County Sheriffs of Colorado for inviting us to present on this amazing topic!

There’s something powerful happening at the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.

This week, we’ve had the privilege of teaching Family Academy Certification to an incredible group of professionals who are deeply committed to strengthening their agency culture from the inside out. One thing has stood out repeatedly throughout the week: culture does not change by accident. It changes because leaders intentionally invest in people.

Sheriff Regina Marinelli and Commander Dr. Cindy Kennedy are two of those leaders. True movers, shakers, and culture impactors who understands that supporting employees and families is not an “extra” — it is part of building a resilient, healthy, and sustainable agency. Leadership like this creates ripple effects far beyond the walls of an organization. It impacts morale, retention, recruiting, wellness, trust, and ultimately the strength of the entire community.

Watching agencies prioritize family support, peer support, wellness, and connection reminds me why this work matters so much. The agencies willing to think differently and invest intentionally are the ones shaping the future of law enforcement culture.

Thank you to the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office for hosting and for your commitment to your people. And thank you to these leaders for being the kind of leaders who pushes positive culture forward instead of simply talking about it.

The future of law enforcement wellness, resilience, and retention will be built by leaders willing to lead this way. 💙

Looking for a way to impact RECRUITING in a creative way? Family Academy might be an innovative way to help your agency!

Participants didn’t just support their officer—they became advocates for the profession, with many reporting they influenced one, two, or even three people to consider a career in law enforcement.

Over 50% of participants directly contributed to recruiting efforts—
reporting they themselves either joined law enforcement or influenced one, two, or even three individuals to consider a career in law enforcement.

We’re heading into our second Peer Support tabletop training this week after an incredible first session with powerful feedback.

This week, we train the rest of our team—and this work matters. These conversations help us identify strengths, expose gaps, and prepare before we’re in the middle of a critical incident.

As part of the preparation, I ordered copies of a book that I believe should be required reading for every peer supporter (and LEO leader). It will hit hard—yes, even for the toughest SWAT operator—but more importantly, it provides a powerful perspective on how our actions, and leadership decisions, can shape the long-term impact on families.
